LINK Pro-Israel think tank wants Progressives to adopt “Progressive Except Palestine”  

In a moment when support for Israel is slipping a bit in Congress, this Israel-right-or-wrong group proposes a new category of antisemitism in hopes of persuading Progressives to alter their agenda to accommodate pro-Israel Jewish Americans.

It’s called “Progressive Except Palestine.”

by Kathryn Shihadah

"Israel has enjoyed almost total dominance on Capitol Hill for years, receiving a minimum of $10.5 million in aid per day, no strings attached.

But times are changing.

The last few years have seen a small – but growing – coalition of Congress members (currently all on the left) who question the wisdom of supporting a state that consistently violates international laws and uses American aid to perpetuate occupation and state violence against the Palestinians among them.

Israel partisans in the United States have gone into overdrive in an effort to rescue the so-called Jewish State from this “progressive” thinking.

Of course, Israel has no intention of changing its policies toward Palestinians – so it’s the Progressives that will have to change.

Enter the Reut Group, a pro-Israel think tank that explores new ways to “tackle critical challenges facing the State of Israel, Israeli society, and the Jewish world.”

The Reut Group published a policy paper on March 15, identifying just what it is about the Progressive movement that needs to change so that Israel partisans will be comfortable."

I am a progressive who supports Israel the only country in the area that changes government. Watching how Israel, Jordan, & the Palestinian Authority on the West Bank are working to rehydrate the Dead Sea makes it clear to me that the parties involved can work together for the common good. Gaza is the area where the crush of people is alarming, but the missiles are deployed from this area into Israel. Not a Benny supporter, but Hamas & the PLO are worse as they are hell bent on not living in peace & far more corrupt holding on to power with no ability to compromise.

The apartheid in Chosanistan doesn't change.

I'm just not a big fan of Nuttiyahoo. Not a Benny boy.

it doesn't really matter who operates an apartheid system, it's still apartheid.

In my opinion, Fuck 'em, Fuck the lot of them, ISRAEL NEVER TRULY existed in ACTUAL FACT BEFORE the end of WWII.
The word, "ISRAEL" in ACTUAL fact is derived from the term meaning " Those who wrestle/fight with or against their OWN God."
ALL the rest IS complete and UTTER, Unmitigated BULLSHIT to the extreme.

Progressives will never side with Israel over Palestine. Israel is the obvious aggressor committing crimes against humanity over the course of decades.
